Dining on Guinea Pig in Cusco, Peru

 

So last night was my last night and I was feeling lazy. I remembered that you can’t see the world and experience all it has without getting out there and doing it so I grabbed my gopro and went in search of guinea pig.

I had not eaten rodent since my time in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam some years ago and figured it was high time to dine on its disgusting flesh once more.

Found a joint serving guinea pig in its purest form aka a guinea pig with little else on the plate. Guinea pig tastes like it looks and is mainly just skin and bone and best suited for a soup.

The best part of the meal was the pisco sour and the surprise company of three random South Koreans who stumbled in not long after myself.

I’ll never pay for guinea pig again but if / when I find myself in some cashew tree-fort and someone offers it to me, I’ll hit it up.

Have you ever eaten rodent? Would you?

If you’re killing time at work, you can check out other vids of mine here.

In closing, aware that wearing a hat is bad form in an establishment but figured if I look I’m from a halfway house and dining on rat it’s alright.

    Dubz, I haven’t enjoyed rodent, but have suffered through javelina ( collared peccary). Here in the southwest, hunters try to justify killing them by eating the carcass, but it takes all kinds of marinating & slow-cooking to make it passable. Can only imagine what a quick kill & cook would be…(not good).
